They like Krizzle what’chu gonna say when all the cameras in your face
About the ‘Sip and David Banner and what it means to take his place
(Take a stand) do all that I can and take it off the block
Misinterpret what it say (now they think I’m taking shots)
On the low gave a n*gga hope, that’s just what it is
I don’t need a nigga vouching for me, that’s just how I feel
Never had (never ever been) and I never will

Big K.R.I.T.’s classic mixtape K.R.I.T. Wuz Here – and, yes, after three (four in May!) years, it can be deemed a classic – had so many songs that encapsulated very specific emotions perfectly. “Viktorious” is as defiant a track as you’ll ever hear in the genre; the kind of scowling, back-against-the-wall, me-against-the-world mentality that works perfectly if you’re in the need for a firm kick in the butt.

But more than the ra-ra juju, the mixtape’s second-to-last track offers some interesting insight on the relationship Krizzle has with his would-be mentor, David Banner. Because, let’s be real: we’re into this crazy genre for the behind-the-scenes stories as much as any other reason. And from the jump, K.R.I.T. has had a pretty great story to tell.

Yo even though KRIT fell victim to the “mixtape being better than album” I’m still over here looking like pookie waiting on his next album…dude is an amazing producer and artist too and what the fuck the south needs instead of that trap shid ALL THE DAMN TIME ughh
